i read somewhere that the longer your port is, the louder it will be if ur car is all sealed up. is this true?

No.

There's a lot of extreme cars out there that use the thickness of the baffle as the port. And they're quite a bit loud.

nope not true at all.. doesnt' work that like... if it did, everyone would have 10ft long ports.. i've found that in my car tuning a few hz under the resonance fq, which is 44hz is best so far, still trying to figure it all out

every car and every sub is different, like the subs i have DD 9512g i hear like bigger ports than most other subs, don't know if it's true or not..but im trying it out.. and ill keep doing that until i either figure it out, or accidently get it right

lol alright guys, i didnt think it was right either, but steve posted how much port area he has and some other guy chimed in that if he had more port area it would be louder all sealed up.

port area and length of the port are 2 very different things. more port area does mean louder a lot of the time but it all depends on the sub and box and how "big" your talking.
